Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) fell by 0.1 percent in April, mostly due to declines in the manufacturing sector, according to Statistics Canada.
The manufacturing sector fell by 1.9 percent in April, the agency said in a June 27 report, which was the largest drop since April 2021, when many countries were grappling with pandemic-related supply chain issues. StatCan said the decline was reflected in both durable and non-durable goods.
